Cannabis community outreach

Cannabis community outreach

The Office of Cannabis Management is hosting 11 events over the next month to talk about the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act and have community ask questions.
A new Medical Cannabis Program certification and registration system went into effect on Monday across the state.
This expands the eligibility criteria for patients who can benefit from medical cannabis and makes it easier for them to be certified by a medical practitioner.
Last year’s marijuana regulation and taxation act ensured that this new system will be run by the office of cannabis management instead of the health department.
“It is terrific to see the Medical Cannabis Program expand so vastly with the launch of the new certification and registration program and the ability of practitioners to determine qualifying conditions as included in the MRTA,” said Cannabis Control Board Chair Tremaine Wright.
